Queen Maxima's and King Willem's visit to Portugal 2nd day

On the second day of Portugal visit, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands visited the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Belem, a cancer research facility. Then, the Queen and the King Willem Alexander accompanied by the Foreign Affairs Minister, Augusto Santos Silva visited the University of Lisbon.

I don't know about looking better on Victoria, and it should be lined to the hem on any length. Reminds me of the long, long ago photo of Diana as a nursery teacher's assistant before she married Charles.

I think the reason that it looked better on Victoria is because Maxima has not styled it very well. This dress does not need much accesories it must be kept simple and because of the enormous flower, the necklace also with flower, the big hair, it is all too much. But the colour does look better on Victoria, that's true.

Another A+ day for Maxima although I'm a little ambiguous on the big flower in her hair but it is creative. All these lace dresses seem to have short linings.They are color coordinated again - his ties and her outfits.

I'm not so sure that we can see through her dress in that photo. If you look again and more closely it might be sun glare. The white glare can be seen on the right side as well. I would think the dress lining would be a bit longer than that. I think the color is very pretty on her and I love the flower I her hair.
